Age of the World
Is Earth really billions of years old? There’s not enough eroded rock, not enough sediment or salt in the oceans, too much strength in Earth’s magnetic field, too few human graves, and too much original protein within fossils to support that. Explore science from an array of disciplines that aligns with a recent creation.

Does Radioisotope Dating Prove an Old Earth?
When most people think about radioisotope dating, they think of carbon-14 (C-14), or radiocarbon dating.1 However, C-14, a radioactive variety of carbon, decays too quickly to use on rocks that secular scientists think are millions of years old. With such a fast decay rate, any radiocarbon in a sample would be undetectable in less than 100,000 years.
Dinosaur Blood Vessels
Recently, the prestigious Royal Society published a fascinating paper regarding partial haemoglobin preservation in dinosaur fossils....They wrote, "Still soft, hollow, flexible structures morphologically consistent with blood vessels, vascular contents, cells (osteocytes) and collagenous matrix were recovered from demineralized bone of a number of Mesozoic vertebrate remains, but the origin of these materials is hotly debated, in part because it refutes taphonomic [fossil formation] models of degradation."
Earth's Young Magnetic Field
In the beginning, God created Earth’s magnetic field, which He designed and installed during the creation week. This field protects our planet from the deadly effects of space-generated charged particles that come from cosmic rays, the solar wind, and coronal mass ejections. Its shielding importance cannot be overstated.
Evidence for a Young World
Here are fourteen natural phenomena which conflict with the evolutionary idea that the universe is billions of years old. The numbers listed below in bold print (usually in the millions of years) are often maximum possible ages set by each process, not the actual ages. The numbers in italics are the ages required by evolutionary theory for each item.
